Missing No Script in toolbar

With Linux Tor browser 13 it seems impossible to customize the toolbar to add No Script. No Script does not appear after clicking customize.

To add/remove NoScript from the toolbar

  • go to about:addons > extensions
  • click the NoScript card to get detail view
  • choose your Toolbar button option

cc @donuts this isn’t explained anywhere - release notes, reasoning if required. And the solution is well hidden UX wise - can we expose it more (e.g. append/prepend to option to the card - or to the card’s hamburger menu)?

I’d like to publicly acknowledge that the user experience here is somewhat awkward, however we had to come up with a creative workaround following the introduction of unified extensions and associated changes to extension pinning we inherited in Firefox ESR 115.

I suspect the percentage of Tor Browser users who know what NoScript is and would like to see it in the toolbar is relatively small, however if there’s enough demand for it, maybe!

Thanks for explaining.

Maybe a poll or survey could help to assess how many users know what NoScript is and want to see it in the toolbar?

But even if percentage is small I think they would appreciate thorin’s suggestions (like explanation in release notes/changelog or having the option in the hamburger menu, assuming this takes not much effort to implement.)

well, to be fair, the hamburger menu is still the same as another click. I personally think appending it to under the card is a happy middle ground - but I don’t get paid the big bucks … I don’t even get paid! :slight_smile:

Well thank you @thorin for volunteering you’re time and expertise :heart:
